So if you are anywhere near Amsterdam: Please check it out yourself at the center of the Gashouder dome. This nine day art fair closes sundaynight may 23rd! Of course there is a lot more cool stuff to see and experience.

“ Pay any attention to that irreverent, smiling spectre we call technology journalism and you’ll probably know two things about Second Life. ONE: That it’s very successful, and the millions of dollars it rakes in are shared with its dashing player entrepreneurs.TWO: That it’s full of sex.”

“The sex, all those animations, the sound packs full of squeaks and moans, the skanky clothes and variety of downloadable erections, they all exist to augment Second Life.”

“Second Life’s sex trade doesn’t represent players creating pornography within the framework of the game. More often than not, it’s simply another part of socialising that players want to simulate. Players will meet, chat, romance one another over however many days or minutes, and then have sex.”

“it’s staggering the degree to which the games industry seems to be laughing these people off as a bunch of hilarious perverts. The money being spent on sex here is a grand shout out from the Second Life community, an orgasmic bellowing from the rooftops that shouldn’t be ignored. It says two things: One, many gamers are tremendously unafraid of virtual sex and/or virtual romance. Two, they’re willing to pay for it.”

“The West doesn’t shy away from romantic novels, sexy TV shows or porn movies, and Second Life is a naked statement that we have no problem with digital eroticism. So why are we being trounced on the erotic videogame front?“

“In 15 years the idea that the Western videogames industry was once utterly barren of sex games will be a mad thought.“

“I’m sure ‘pixel boom boom’ – an euphemism for ‘3D virtual sex’ or whomever you wish to call it – happens in other Virtual Worlds and MMORPG’s too. Yet, Second Life gets always targeted by the RL press. Of course, you have ‘dedicated’ virtual worlds such as the Red Light Center, but I wonder, do World of Warcraft, the Sims, Entropia Universe, … avatars have a sex life too? And all the necessary bits & pieces to make ‘virtual intercourse’ a true ‘immersive experience’? :D”

Hereby I simply have to give big compliments to editor-in-chief GLAMOURAMAMA BOA and her team: For publishing such an impressive digital glossy on virtual kinkyness, for free! Congratulations for this achievement!

On pages 11/12 there is an article by Subversive Vavoom titled: ‘SLexual Revolution’. Allthough it wouldn’t really have been neccesary to keep my name anonymous (as ‘Wekomen Klaar‘ is a pseudonym anyway), I am really pleased to see the published article quote from the email interview she did with me. I hope it encourages many people to express their sexuality creatively in a way that had not been done before in their personal lives, or in general.

“Yes definitely we are at the beginning of a new sexual revolution in general I believe. Probably sexually the most liberal virtual world Second Life does play a role in this. At Flickr proof of this can be found: Two years ago there was hardly any explicit sexual SL images on Flickr, or of any virtual world for that matter.”

“But look at the amount and average quality now. SL has certainly brought a new dimension in visualization of peoples fantasies, and brought a new level in human history for brains to connect . (brains: the most important sex-organs!) “

“You can see SL erotica slowly getting more mixed and accepted by the conventional RL erotica art / porn scenes. And I am sure some people from those scenes are discovering SL through this way and getting in on it out of curiosity and are adding their individual creativity. I am sure SL sex is already influencing RL art and porn culture. And therefore it is doing something to the minds of people, not only in SL.”

“Anyway i think whatever happens at Linden Lab, be it bankruptcy, censorship or other counteractions by external conservative forces against free sexual expression, “the genie is too much out of the closet already” for this new sexual revolution to be totally dependent on SL I hope.”

While there is a lot of machinima created with Second Life and even a lot of pornographic SL pictures being published, strangely enough it doesn’t seem to be easy to find X-rated SL videos. Youtube obviously doesn’t allow hosting of these adult machinima and many porn sites only focus on RL porn. There already is a lot of CGI erotica out there, but why is it so hard to find explicite sex video’s with individually controlled avatars ? (CGI is not that).

However just as the avatar-porn-art stills production obviously has exploded the past year, I expect the same to happen with erotic and pornographic machinima the coming years.

New Flickr groups: “Machinima Erotica” + “Machinima Porn”
